However, email referrals (not link referrals) which were generated before the September 10 change are already set in stone with the 24-month terms. llamalamaglama verified that the same email referral can be used multiple times, and that it’s been confirmed by Chase reps that the bonus is successfully working for signups who are below the 48 month threshold. In other words, the 24-month terms showing in the email is actually still working and anyone who has such an email can continue to refer people under the old terms.

Now, email referrals only work for around 30 days, as per the terms in the email, so this workaround will last until October 10th, at the latest – one month from when Chase changed the referral terms. The one I saw has a September 28th expiration, but until roughly October 10th should be possible if someone generated an email referral on the last date.

Of course all this only helps those who are under 5/24 and are between 24-48 months from their past Sapphire bonus.

If you have an emailed referral and would like to share it, please leave an email address below where people can contact you and you can then forward them the referral email. Please first check the ‘Offer Details’ link in the email to ensure it shows the 24 month language. As noted, only emailed referrals already generated from before the change will work. Also, please indicate whether you have a Sapphire Reserve referral available or a Sapphire Preferred referral available. And let us know the expiration date of your referral offer, as shown in the email.

[Please do not leave referral signup links in the comments below: while it is possible to just use the link from the email (at least I don’t see why not), there’s no way for readers to verify the bonus. However, if you forward them the actual email, they’ll be able to confirm the offer and 24-month terms for themselves.]
